With the rich experience of working in World Health Organization for ten years, I have gained a deep insight in the field of health system management, program planning and implementation especially in the field of Routine Immunization, Neglected Tropical Diseases Elimination and Health Information System Strengthening. I have imbibed the work culture and ethos of the organization I have worked for and synchronized my professional goals with it of working towards ‘Health for all’.
